Filibuster
Prevent of Senate from voting on a bill
A filibuster occurs when opponents of a bill use obstructive speech tactics to keep a bill from being put to the vote in the US Senate. The speaker can talk as long as they wish on whatever subject they want unless three-fifths of the Senators brings the debate to a close by invoking Cloture.
I believe that filibuster is a great part of our government. Right now since the democrats have the senate majority it will be hard for the republicans to stop bills from being voted on that they don't agree with. But if they use the filibuster technique they can try and delay the bill from being voted on so they can get something they want in the bill or just try and get rid of the bill altogether. So it really can help minority parties try and get a say in the government even if they don't have equal representation.
This is known as a "filibuster". This process is used to make infinite debate about useless topics so as to prevent a bill from being passed. This has had its successes in the past.
